Chapter 222 221 What Monster
Chapter 222 221. What kind of monster is this?
The white mist around him was dissipating little by little, and the scene in front of Lu Yu began to become clear.
Before he could see the outline of the object in the distance, Lu Yu's skin felt unusually cool, as if there was a clear spring flowing on his exposed skin.
Lu Yu, who was on guard, subconsciously began to draw magic power, and as the magic power flowed, Lu Yu was stunned.
The fog demon floating above Lu Yu's head looked around, and she was extremely shocked when she turned into a human form: "What's going on here..."
"I said that the magic power in this place is far more concentrated than I imagined. I have never seen a place with such rich magic power." Lulu said, "If this place is known to other magicians, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. By then, um... it seems to be here."
Lulu's abrupt words aroused everyone's curiosity, but they didn't bother to ask, because the moonlight from the sky was like mercury pouring down, outlining every outline of the coast.
There were no strange, jagged reefs. In front of them was an open beach. The sound of waves washing the beach entered everyone's ears. The "swish" sound of the tide seemed to welcome every crew member drifting on the sea to set foot here.
Lulu stopped Lu Yu from getting off the boat, and a ball of light was thrown into the sky by her hand.
Lu Yu even realized that she had just mobilized magic power after she finished casting the spell.
The hazy moonlight was covered by the warm yellow light released by the light ball. Lulu's sight searched around the beach little by little, and then she got off the boat first.
Stepping on the soft sand, she stomped her feet hard twice, and then signaled everyone to follow.
Sigrid dragged the boat onto the beach according to Lu Yu's order. In order to prevent the high tide from dragging the boat back into the sea, she fixed it with sand and stones condensed by magic. After completing all this, Lulu, who was exploring forward, also walked back.
"I didn't see the castle Anna mentioned. This place is much bigger than we imagined."
The ground here is covered with a light layer of green. These thriving grasses are no different from the weeds outside. It seems that the unusually abundant magic power has not made them evolve more wonderfully.
The fog demon floated into the air and moved forward for a distance along the route guided by Lulu. With the help of the moonlight and Lulu's light ball, no signs of active life were found around.
It was spring, the weather was so good, there were lush forests in the distance, and green grass underfoot, but the group couldn't find a single insect.
There were no flies that would run out and buzz around you when you stepped on the grass, and there were no moths and butterflies that only came out at night and danced with the flowers.
Except for the sound of Lu Yu and others stepping on the grass when they walked, there was silence.
Lulu suddenly stopped and stretched out her hand to stop everyone.
The fog demon floating in the air and clearing the way turned into a finger, pointing to the forest not far away, and whispered: "Something is moving."
The group held their breath and gradually heard the sound of footsteps echoing in the forest.
If there are footsteps, it is not the undead or vengeful spirits as previously speculated, and this pace can be confirmed to be human.
After a while, a person walked out of the forest.
He was naked, wearing brown linen shorts, carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder, holding a wooden bucket in his hand, and dressed like he was looking for a place to fish.
This fisherman-dressed man stunned Lu Yu. Could it be that the people who had been in trouble here before survived and successfully reproduced?
The same confusion also grew in the minds of others. With curiosity, everyone approached this fisherman who was bathing in the moonlight and seemed to be heading to the seaside.
This should have been a two-way rush, but Lu Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.
He called Sigrid, who was about to say hello, and slowly led everyone back.
"Why didn't this person react at all?" Lulu frowned, "Even if he has night blindness, he should be able to see us at this distance. Even if he can't see us, he should be able to hear the sound."
The fisherman continued to walk on his own. Because the angle of the light ball released by Lulu was a bit wrong, he couldn't see the expression on the face of the fisherman who turned a blind eye to them.
In order to solve the doubts, with Lu Yu's permission, the fog monster floated in front of the fisherman with the light ball.
The light ball illuminated the fisherman's rough, dark face, which is one of the characteristics of long-term dealing with the sea. Strong sunlight and long-term contact with sea water will make their skin extremely poor and appear old.
The fisherman's eyes were shiny and blinking normally. The fog monster could even see himself and the light ball reflected in the fisherman's eyes.
However, the fisherman just bumped into him, squeezed the light ball away, and continued to move towards the beach as if he couldn't see them.
The mist demon was confused. She looked at the light ball that was still emitting warm yellow light, then looked at herself who had turned into a human form, and finally cast her eyes on Lu Yu.
Lu Yu quickly caught up with him and watched the fisherman walk to the beach, find the bamboo raft hidden under a pile of sand and rocks, and float out on the raft. Then he chose a good position to cast the rod and fish, all in one go.
"What's going on..." Lu Yu's brain was not enough, so he could only throw the question raised by the mist demon to Lulu.
Lulu's mouth twitched: "I don't know either. It seems... that fisherman can't see us?"
The unexplainable encounter cast a shadow on everyone's hearts. They could only ignore this strange fisherman for the time being and choose to follow the traces he left.
According to the footprints left by the fisherman, Lu Yu did not wander around like a headless fly when he got into the forest, but new questions also followed.
It was so quiet.
If the lack of insects just now can be explained by the fact that we were close to the sea and the sea breeze was too strong, then it would be too strange to enter the mountain forest with wild vegetation and hear neither the chirping of insects nor the movement of wild animals.
Seeing a hole in a tree, Lu Yu kicked it hard, expecting a squirrel or something else to run out in a panic, but he only saw leaves falling.
Lulu would stop for a moment every time she walked, and seriously feel the magic everywhere.
Just as she had guessed, the magic power in this barrier was frighteningly strong no matter where it was. It was at least several times higher than the normal magic power in the outside world.
In this place, Lulu even felt that she could try to use some high-level magic that was only imagined due to the environment.
As soon as this thought came out, Lulu's eyes widened suddenly.
"This...is this the next stage of the world?"
Lulu's muttering was heard by everyone in the quiet environment.
"What's the meaning?"
"Didn't Huogu say that the magic power in this world is gradually getting stronger? When the magic power first appeared, the magic power was very thin, so there were only a few races that sensed the magic power and evolved. But as time goes by, The magic power is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of races is also increasing.”
"Barriers that determine the types of magic and the upper limit of magic do exist. The fact that most of the magic that exists in the imagination cannot be realized is not because everyone cannot construct it, but because it is impossible to use it due to environmental restrictions."
"For example, after the long-distance teleportation circle is created, it will consume a lot of magic power every time it is opened, and maintenance also requires a lot of magic power. The high cost means that even if such a convenient magic circle exists, the four major countries of Mera Continent will not easily Use, this is an extremely luxurious item from manufacturing to maintenance to use.”
"Another example is the storage space you talked about before. The essence of the storage space is that the magic power flowing to maintain the storage is greater than the speed of external replenishment. Therefore, the magician can only create a barely usable finished product in a way that meets the current magic power intensity. Of course, you are right to say that this is a semi-finished product. After all, the mainstream magic circles have confirmed that the current storage magic is very inconsistent and cannot be considered a success. "
When it came to the teleportation circle, Lu Yu actually understood it.
In fact, it is an energy issue.
If magic is compared to energy, and magic is an industrial product made from various energy sources, then the amount of energy will determine the design and application ideas of the industrial product.
A magician is like a cook. When the only ingredient is cabbage, stir-fried cabbage is a good choice.
It's not that magicians are incapable of making dishes other than stir-fried cabbage, it's just that the materials don't allow them to have a higher operating space.
At this time, if the ingredients are a little more abundant, ham, old hens, pork knuckles, etc. can be provided. Faced with such abundant conditions, the magician can naturally try to make boiled cabbage.
Same with magic.
When the magic power is sufficient, the ideas will be more refined, the power will be more astonishing, and the effects will be more outstanding. This will have the basis for the birth and existence of high-level magic.
On this basis, the major races that feel the magic and can use it will also achieve greater growth accordingly.
Lulu was so excited that she opened her arms as if to embrace the barrier.
Lu Yu can understand her mood. A person who hopes to become a great magician sees the possibility of a big explosion of magic. It should be like him squatting and watching the conferences of major manufacturers during the game shortage, looking at those outstanding talents. After watching the game trailer, I began to imagine the wonderful scenes when I actually operate it.
But Lu Yu had to let her calm down first, because she seemed to have forgotten something important.
"After we came in, it seems we haven't found any trace of Sera."
Lulu, who was traveling amidst the grand explosion of magic, returned to reality and suppressed the smile on her face.
Thinking of Sera, Lulu sighed: "This stinky rabbit doesn't know how to leave me a message. It seems quite big. How on earth can I find you..."
"Rustling."
The sound of swaying grass blades made Lu Yu's ears twitch slightly.
The change happened so fast that before anyone could react and turn their heads, a black shadow jumped out of the grass not far away and flew toward Sigrid who was closest to him like a hungry wolf.
Sigrid subconsciously raised her hand, and the black shadow bit Sigrid's clenched fist impartially. The sharp teeth were deeply embedded in her flesh and blood, and the tips of the teeth even hit her finger bones. The fierce force seemed to break Sigrid's fingers.
The splashing blood instantly dyed Sigrid's vision red, and the severe pain made her go crazy.
Although her dominant right hand was bitten, Sigrid still punched fiercely with her left fist. The speed was extremely fast, and the black shadow had nowhere to hide. It was hit firmly in the face and flew backwards.
The sharp teeth embedded deeply in Sigrid's fist also took away a small piece of flesh and blood when they parted. The pain was so painful that Sigrid could no longer bear it and cried out.
In the silent mountain forest, the sound spread far away. In the echo, Sigrid's voice was dragged and stretched, becoming terrifying and eerie.
The light ball rose, illuminating the appearance of the monster crawling on the ground.
This was a person crawling on the ground with his limbs, moving very fast. After taking Sigrid's punch, he actually retreated backwards like a spider, holding the torn piece of flesh in his mouth.
His mouth was bloody, and the eyes staring at Lu Yu were dark, without a trace of white.
He swallowed Sigrid's flesh and blood quickly, his mouth stretched to his ears. In that scary bloody mouth, every tooth was like a polished knife, extremely sharp.
It's hard to imagine that these are teeth that a person can have. A normal person with such teeth would definitely cut his lips and bleed!
The fog demon quickly found bandages and potions from the earth element bowl that accompanied him, intending to treat Sigrid's wound.
However, Sigrid growled like a beast.
"You...monster!"
Sigrid rushed out without time to stop, her bloody right hand clenched into a fist, and hit the monster's head fiercely.
The monster obviously underestimated the explosive power of a half-dragon man, and he didn't even have time to dodge before Sigrid smashed his head into the ground.
Lu Yu's scalp was numb.
It was not because of Sigrid's violent blow, but because after the monster was hit hard by Sigrid, his head had sunk deep into the ground, but his lower body was still struggling to kick the ground and dig the soil.
The neck was deformed by the blow, and the head was buried in the ground. This guy was not dead yet. The strong vitality made him pull his head out of the ground and staggered back.
"Fuck, what the hell is this!"
Lu Yu swore.
I have seen a lot of weird things in this world, but in the end, they are all "aliens", but the "person" in front of him showed explosive power and vitality that were completely inconsistent with the structure of human body.
The monster rotated its loose head, turning left and right, keeping its eyes on Sigrid, leaving her no chance to finish off the attacker.
With a few "cracks", the man actually returned to his original appearance before being attacked. Except for a large dent in his head caused by Sigrid, he looked fine...
His mouth slightly opened, and a terrifying smile gradually emerged.
Without stopping for a moment, he attacked Sigrid again with his hands and feet.
